Wilderness National Park
Wilderness National Park is situated In the heart of South Africa's famous Garden Route, a captivating world of lakes, rivers, estuaries and beaches gently unfolds against a backdrop of lush forest and lofty mountains. Nature trails wind through densely wooded forest and along tranquil rivers, affording you the opportunity to encounter the brilliantly colored Knysna lourie, or one of the five kingfisher species that occur here. During spring, a carpet of flowers, further enhance the verdant beauty of this national park.

Canoe, bicycle, go abseiling, kloofing, paragliding or hang-gliding. Go boating and fishing at Island Lake or hike to the waterfall above Ebb and Flow Restcamp.
